Specifications, Requirements, and Precautions AW00123409000
52 Basler ace USB 3.0
When the device temperature climbs above 80 °C (176.0 °F) the camera enters the over
temperature mode. When this mode is reached the camera must be cooled immediately.
Otherwise, irreversible damage can occur to the camera.
In the over temperature mode, the following occurs (all becoming active and apparent at 81 °C
(177.8 °F)):
the camera is powered down as damage due to overheating is imminent,
the TemperatureState parameter value changes to Over Temperature,
the OverTemperature event is sent,
regular image acquisition stops. Instead, test image 2 is generated (see Section 7.18.1 on
page 319).
Despite the device temperature threshold being at 74 °C, the changed
TemperatureState parameter value (Critical) actually appears at a device
temperature of 75 °C (167.0 °F) and the Critical Temperature event is sent at
75 °C.
This is due to the fact that the changes occur above the 74 °C threshold and
that the device temperature is reported in steps of 1 °C.
Note that another Critical Temperature event can only be sent after the device
temperature has fallen to at least 71 °C (159.8 °F; see Figure 33).
To be able to receive events, make sure event notification is enabled and some
additional software-related settings are made (see Section 7.17 on page 314).
Note that another Over Temperature event can only be sent after the device
temperature has fallen to at least 77 °C (170.6 °F; see Figure 33).
